Hot Box is the first map I've ever made. I've come to this forum to share it, and hopefully meet some people interested in play-testing it with me as I don't have many friends who still play Halo...

Hot Box is a symmetrical slayer map with a light emphasis on platforming. It was made with the Arena Slayer rule set in mind, but still works in a vanilla free-for-all/team Slayer match with all the armor abilities available.

Weapons:
DMR x 6
Magnum x 6
Assault Rifle x 4
Plasma Pistol x 2
Needler x 2
Needle Rifle x 2
Plasma Repeater x 2
Brute Spiker x 2
Sniper Rifle x 2
Plasma Sword x 1
Plasma Launcher x 1
Shotgun x 1
Grenade Launcher x 1
Frag Grenade x 17
Sticky Grenade x 15
(Too many grenades, I know. I need to play test more to decide which ones to take out.)
Health Pack x 4

Screenshots:

An overview of the entire map. Hot Box is symmetrical (except for weapon placement, which is inversely symmetrical), has three levels, and plenty of cover without creating camping points.

Center, bottom. Sword spawns in the center of a canyon directly in front of both teams' initial spawn points. Meant to give an immediate objective in team games.

Center, top. The plasma launcher spawns on a platform at the very top of the map. The only way to access it (without the jetpack) is to use the gravity lifts on either side. The platform and platforms leading to it are lined with explosives to discourage camping.

Shots of one of the gravity lifts/side bridges. The gravity lifts are on the bottom floor, in the middle along either wall, under a bridge that provides high ground and access to the mid-level sections.

Red side, bottom, middle. Behind the initial spawn points on either side is a tunnel piece with barricades on either side. Inside is a DMR, 2 frag grenades, and a health pack. The "bases" were created to break up the otherwise open space in those sections. They also provide an opportunity to jump from the roof to one of the mid-level bunkers using the sprint ability.

Side hallway, bottom. Across the hallway from the gravity lifts are bunkers that sink into the wall, like a cave. Here, the shotgun and grenade launcher spawn on their respective sides.

Center, mid-level. The column above the sword spawn is a risky but rapid way to get from one side of the mid-level platforms to the other. It requires the sprint ability, and some precise timing to cross the sword canyon this way.

Sorry for not having a video! I hope the screenshots are interesting enough for you to download the map!

So like I said, this is my first map, and it needs more play testing. Drop me a friend request at LameOnade and tell me what you think! If anyone has level design advice, I would love to hear it.
